All cultures have a creation story. Some have scripture about omnipotent beings creating everything from scratch. Others have tales explaining how things came to be. In the land and lands surrounding Equestria, there are three prominent stories: one for dragons, one for griffons, and one for ponies. All three stories tell of a mythical creature being sealed into the icy earth far in the north. One is rising again. Princess Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle and friends to protect Equestria from the impending doom if the being is allowed to escape once more.

Why this doesn't have any comments so far is beyond me. Creation myths are a big part of every mythology and it's going to be really exciting seeing the heroes of Equestria facing an all-powerful creating from the beginning of time! The painting combined with the epic-sounding synopsis is pretty powerful and got me hooked.
Only two criticisms: I'm not sure what message you were trying to send by italicizing the main story and leaving the creation myths alone, but it doesn't really work for me.
Second: I'm a little concerned that you said "mane six." I honestly don't have any interest in stories where the ponies are the heroes and Spike is left out. He's proven he can handle it.

Thanks for commenting. It has been strangely pretty slow. Usually after four days I have more views and generally more responses (likes/dislikes, comments, etc.) from just being in the Most Recent box alone than I am having with this one. It's pretty strange.
Also, do not worry, Spike will be a major player in this story. When I said mane six I meant him as well, it was just implied.
